Chapter 233 Strawberry Ice Cream
After the Charms class, everyone walked towards the auditorium.
It’s lunch time in ten minutes. If you go early, you can choose the food you like.
Turning around the stone corridor, the nearby stairs creaked and long steps extended down from the upper floor.
A group of senior students came down the stairs, all looking dejected, like eggplants beaten by frost.
"Hi Matt!"
Michael raised his hand to say hello and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Vader also recognized that these were fifth-year Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students.
The boy named Matt glanced at Michael and Wade next to him, walked over, and sighed before speaking.
"We just had a Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson."
Michael understood: "You were beaten too? Professor Abigail was very cruel."
"I'd rather get beat up!" Matt said glumly.
The little wizards all looked puzzled.
"Wade Gray?" A Gryffindor girl came from behind and pushed Matt aside. When she saw Wade, she said, "I heard that you had a fight with the new professor yesterday?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd that was surging forward like a conveyor belt in the corridor stopped for a moment, and many people turned their heads to look at Wade.
"No, I just got beaten up." Wade said expressionlessly.
"Yes, the beating was terrible. He just came out of the school doctor's office this morning." Padma helped.
Hearing this, several fifth-grade students sighed in disappointment.
Matt explained to them: "I heard that Professor Abigail's class is a real duel, and we have been looking forward to it for a whole week."
"It turned out that when class came, it was no different from other classes." Matt said disappointedly: "Exams, exams, endless exams!"
he said bitterly.
Another Ravenclaw girl said helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it - this is the OWLs year."
The results of the OWLs exam are related to the future prospects of all young wizards. Unless they are as rich as the Malfoy family, or do not care about their future at all, they must take this exam very seriously.
Moreover, there is basically no chance of repeating this exam. It is considered that one exam will determine your life.
Therefore, during this year, they were just like those high school seniors in Wade's previous life. They continued to memorize, review, and train for a whole year, write a lot of homework, and hone their knowledge and skills in tests after tests. , in order to achieve a good result.
One can imagine the pressure.
Therefore, they may be the only students who still look forward to Professor Abigail's class even after knowing the whole story. Even if they get beaten, it is more interesting than doing the questions.
If you were beaten badly, you might be able to skip a class or two and the corresponding homework.
It's a pity that Professor Abigail did not use her unique teaching mode in today's class.
Everyone sighed in unison, and then continued to walk towards the auditorium dejectedly. Vader and others silently distanced themselves from these guys full of energy.
"The OWLs are so scary!" Michael sighed in a low voice: "I hope I won't be like them in three years."
Wade said what the high school teacher in his previous life often said to them: "As long as you prepare well and take the study content seriously, there is no need to panic when it comes to the exam. They are usually too laid back, and now they feel the pressure of time." big."
Michael scratched his face, feeling as if he had also been scolded.
Padma walked to the side and whispered: "You think... Professor Abigail's change in class style is not only because they are in OWLs year, but also because Madam Pomfrey had a fight with her yesterday? "
Michael was silent for a moment and nodded: "It's possible - I remember Fred and the others also have a Defense Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon. I'll be sure by asking them about their class status."
Wade was listening and suddenly thought: Professor Abigail wouldn't be scared away by the huge workload after teaching for a few weeks, right?
Because there is only one Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the school, there are many classes every week, and all of them are consecutive classes. It can be said that the class alone lasts at least five or six hours every day.
In the past, Quirrell had ulterior motives and was a dual-core version; Lockhart did not talk about serious content and regarded the classroom as his stage, wishing that the time would be longer.
But with Abigail's "energetic" class style, it's normal that she won't be able to hold on for long.
After lunch, Wade said goodbye to Michael and others and went to the principal's office alone.
"Strawberry ice cream."
Upon hearing the command, the stone statue jumped aside, revealing the doorway. Vader gradually ascended the spiral staircase. When he reached the top, he found the oak door ajar.
"Seriously, Dumbledore, Professor Abigail's teaching methods are very problematic!"
Madam Pomfrey's angry voice came from above her head:
"Do you know how many students have been sent to the school infirmary in the past two days? I just sent away a dozen, and in the blink of an eye, a lot more students came in! There were not enough beds, and I had to put poor Ogden in the corridor inside!"
Vader didn't expect Madam Pomfrey to actually come to complain. The stairs had reached its end, so he had to wait at the door.
"I think Professor Abigail is just not used to the level of the students. She has faced more brutal battles before, as well as dark wizards running around the world."
Dumbledore said gently: "After she has examined the level of the students and understood her responsibilities, I think her teaching method will become more appropriate."
"She is like a lion that has just entered a new territory and wants to hunt every animal! But it is too much to be so harsh on a second-year student!"
Madam Pomfrey was not convinced by Dumbledore's vague words. She even threatened angrily:
"If she still doesn't know how to restrain herself, I will also watch her during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the future!"
"I don't think it's necessary. I will talk to her." Dumbledore said.
"Don't wait until later, today!" Madam Pomfrey was very tough.
"Of course." Dumbledore said, "But Mr. Gray is waiting for me outside the door. Regarding Professor Abigail's class, you should see if she has changed first, and then we can talk about it, how about it?"
Wade stepped aside, and soon saw Madam Pomfrey coming out.
She was still wearing the clothes that looked like a nurse, with a faint smell of potion on her body.
"Mr. Grey, have all your injuries healed?"
"Yes, ma'am." Wade bowed and said, "Thank you for your care. The potion you used is very effective."
